Admission process in engineering colleges in Kerala

In Kerala state the admission into the Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses is through the following entrance exams mentioned below.

Undergraduate: Admission through JEE Main (National Level Examination)
Post graduation: Admission through GATE entrance exam.

There are also other exams like state designed exams and college level entrance exams created to assess student before admission into their respective institutes.

Takeaway

Shree Padmanabhaswamy temple in dedicated to lord Vishnu is the richest Hindu temple in India with recorded assets of worth 22 billion. Now coming back to admission process, as far as the admission into engineering colleges is concerned, only suggestion to students who wants to become engineers would be to keep a nine months window for preparing for entrance exam because without it, admission into a good engineering college will not be possible.
